Not radio related but I was saddened to hearof the death of Henry Allingham. I never metthe man but I feel I have lost yet another link tomy own past. My late maternal grandfatherserved on HMS Barham as a LieutenantInstructor (Navigation) during the battle ofJutland. A few months ago the last of my grandfathersmaths scholarship students, Prof Jack Good,who worked for Alan Turing at Bletchley Parkalso passed away.
